"Practice Resurrection"

That's how Wendell Berry ends his poem, "Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front," and it's how I begin here.

Practicing resurrection...

in churches striving to reinvigorate and revitalize

in congregations coping with change and loss

in our lives when we've gotten stuck

in my own mind and body

The work that excites me the most is this collaborative, soul-investing work of practicing resurrection - work that finds us deepening our stories, seeing new possibility, and taking bold risks with hope for the future. It's the work I love to engage with leaders and communities of faith, and, ultimately, it's the work I engage each day as I strive to live hopefully and abundantly. ​Perhaps you belong to a community of faith that's looking to do something different - sing a new song, take a new risk, try a new path. Maybe you lead a congregation like that. If that's the case, I hope this tiny corner of the virtual world is helpful. And if it is, perhaps our real worlds can connect further and in more meaningful ways. I enjoy engaging leaders and congregations as a presenter and consultant, and I look forward to seeing if I might be a good fit for the work in which you are engaged.
